What happened? I am on day 15, have 24 eggs in a new incubator. The temp has stayed between 99-100, maybe once or twice it was 98 or 101 but only shortly. At about 1-2 am, I was up taking my dogs out and looked at the temp, it was 99.6. Woke up this morning at 630 and the temp was 113. I have no idea how long.
I took the lid partly off and the temp quickly dropped to 101. Just put the lid back on thinking it would level out and 10 minutes later, it was at 105. What the heck is happening? Am I going to lose all of these chicks? I just candled a few days ago and all appeared to be viable and doing what they should. The temp in the house dropped to around 60 last night, so I am wondering if the thermostat kicked into high gear to compensate? This would really suck to lose them all since they appeared to be doing so well
